My last post, RSSmeme In Your Language, was a bit misleading. I had a small problem sending unicode to Google to detect languages. Any language that could not be encoded from unicode to ASCII was not being detected. This is a big deal because that includes languages like Chinese; China accounts for more page visits than any other country so I had to fix this.
Today I fixed that issue. RSSmeme language filters now work for every language. Here is the Chinese homepage:
http://www.rssmeme.com/?language=zh
Spanish:
http://www.rssmeme.com/?language=es
Persian:
http://www.rssmeme.com/?language=fa
Next on my agenda: add language filters to the RSS feeds. This will require dumping the Django built in feed framework. A side effect of this will (hopefully) be an easier to develop API using JSON.
